British Amateur Liquid Rocket Engineering

Definitely not.

British Reaction Research: This blog describes the research, design and construction of a Liquid Rocket Engine. As such it will include information regarding the design and construction of rocket engine components. This will encompass theoretical and performance concerns, as well as machining, welding and manufacturing techniques used to overcome the various problems encountered. In addition, my interests in this direction include control and data acquisition. So there will be posts regarding electronic systems and microcontrollers. It is my hope that as well as being of interest to the rocket engine community, it should also become a repository of general amateur engineering information. I was inspired to create a blog by the groundswell of interest that I have had in my project from people I have met. I have found that their reactions tend to go from perplexity to enthusiasm rapidly! The main question most people have is not to do with the technical obstacle to be overcome. Most of those who have asked me about my project have wanted to know "Why are you doing this?" So I will try to give some answers to this and to explore my motivation to think, research, create and construct.
